Good question. 13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have...

That does not make sense. Hermeneutics does not work that way. It's the opposite. It helps you explore the plausible and possible interpretations while eliminating those that are impossible or obviously wrong or that are highly unlikely. The "Ah ha! Eureka!" moment comes when you discover...

The regenerated have loftier goals and desires. The Spirit gives them another mind and eternal focus. They long for things above not on things of this life. They don't think it is all that big of a deal in comparison to the things of eternity. Those that don't understand this or don't want...

I want to be patient with all men. Sometimes I think I am wasting my time. But who knows maybe I am helping someone. Slow down and think about what you are saying. What If I called it "The language rules whereby one determines what a writer intended when he put words, sentences and...

Especially since Jesus did clearly answer that question. It is offensive when people pretend like He did not. We should be close minded to any suggestion that Jesus did not mean what He said. He did include sex in the answer he gave and he did include the idea that procreation would cease...

Jesus answered that question. Of course we should take it as the final answer. Those who have other ideas and interpretations of what Jesus said must be able to support their interpretations using the rules of hermeneutics. I really don't want to hear about a thousand ideas someone has...

Are you asking if the statement "they will be tormented day and night forever and ever" applies to anyone else besides the devil, the false prophet and the beast? 10The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet are, and they will...

More early church writers believed that the scriptures clearly described eternal torment than the ones that did not. And these early writers that might have thought of something similar to annihilation were not the consensus of the majority of the Church. It is a true statement that...

Their error was twofold. 1) That they thought there was no resurrection, they were wrong about that. 2) Their idea that if there was a resurrection then this scenario would require sorting out to determine who of the 7 would have her as a wife was an error in thinking. Because the children...

ALL I AM ASKING FOR IS Revelation 20:10 And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. is the verse that says THAT THE SOULS OF THE SONS OF GOD WILL ALSO BE...

We are probably saying the same things in different ways. I believe in being lead by the Holy Spirit and having an experiential life of Holy Spirit guidance and illumination. You will probably agree with most of the following; 1) A born again Christian can rely on the Holy Spirit to guide...

I think the scriptures is clear that the heavens that we know and the earth that we know get wiped out. Science reveals that they are not eternal. We inherit an eternal world. The planets are not them.

You can learn to be more decisive based on sound hermeneutics and conclude a thing and you can also know when to reserve judgment. I think many studious Christians make decisions and come to their presuppositions based on sound hermeneutics and they don't feel the need to question them...

Some biblical topics require that we put things on a shelf in our minds and collect all the relevant data from the scriptures over time before we should feel the need to draw a conclusion. And some biblical topics do not require that much information before we can take a stand or draw a...

Yes. A sane Christian. Hallelujah. So glad you are here sister. There is no question that we will not care one bit about sex or marriage in the resurrection having graduated to more lofty heavenly ideas and occupations. Jesus answered that question very clearly. So many things people...

I believe the women in Cains camp (chapter 4, where it mentions about 3 of these daughters, whose names meant fair, pleasant, lovely etc in Hebrew) were examples of the daughters of men. And that Cain's daughters enticed the godly out of Adam/Seths camp (these were the ones who were calling...

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. I think this is talking about equal standing before God. I doubt we will have sex organs or care anything about that. Saying that we will not be male or female in...

Luke 20:34-36 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and...

Luke 20:34-36 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels...

They asked him which one of the seven men would have the widow as wife. 34And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor...
